iGaging 9" Ebony Sliding Bevel Gauge

The blade locks down rock solid with the thumb screw, so my layout lines stay consistent even after I set the tool down. This ebony handle feels much more substantial in my hand than the plastic ones I've used before.

Finally, a bevel gauge that holds its setting through a whole afternoon of marking rafters—that ebony body feels solid and heavy in the hand, and the 9" blade is long enough for most framing work. The sliding action is smooth but not loose, so I didn't have to re-check every angle twice.

The blade locks tighter than any bevel gauge I’ve owned, so it stays put even when I’m transferring angles across a big layout. The ebony handle has a nice heft that makes it easy to grip, and the 9-inch length covers most of my framing work without feeling unwieldy.
